Run for Freedom: Day 5

I used the same method as yesterday - running for about a tenth of a mile and then walking for a tenth of a mile. I extended the length of time running/walking so I only had to run up and down the street 5 times to reach a mile. This has been the hardest it has ever been to get back into running. I wonder if it's mind over matter. Or I wonder if I'm just not finding my pace. I thought I found it a few times today, but lost it. The pace has to work so that you can still breathe while running. It's a pattern. But I find myself wheezing and focusing on how heavy my legs feel.

I snacked on pretzels all afternoon. Bread is the most addictive thing on the planet. I couldn't just eat one pretzel bite. I had to keep going back for more. I turned it into my lunch and snack combined. I should have kept track of how many I ate so I could try to calculate calories . . .but then again, I said I wasn't doing that. So I'm just going to enjoy Pretzel Day for what it is and continue on.
